Michael Bay/Shakespeare Sandwich - 40-41, 82, 108
from Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie Podcast · host AnthonyReviews
Hark and forsooth! This week we tackle the contributions of one of the deftest and most masterful artists in the history of the English language, whose immortal wit and technical perfection have set the standard for his medium forevermore…and also Shakespeare too, I guess. We come out the gate with Armageddon, which features a stacked cast helmed in part by perhaps Steve Buscemi's most evil character ever. Next is back-to-back Laurence Olivier with Henry V, much to the delight of Shakespeare fan Anthony, and Hamlet, much to the delight of tortured moping fan Sean. Finally, The Rock sees us off with an extensive discussion of Michael Bay’s style, Nicholas Cage’s entire deal, and a thorough investigation on the nature of Buzzballz. (00:00:00) Introduction (00:04:59) Armageddon (1998) dir. Michael Bay (00:36:46) Henry V (1994) dir. Laurence Olivier (00:54:18) Hamlet (1948) dir. Laurence Olivier (01:09:11) The Rock (1996) dir.
